A ballistic missile launched from Yemen triggered sirens in the Judean foothills on Sunday morning. The missile was intercepted before entering Israeli airspace, according to the Israeli military.

Four people were injured running to shelters, according to Israel’s Magen David Adom emergency medical service. The nature and severity of the injuries was not specified. An additional individual was treated for acute anxiety.

The missile was intercepted by Israel’s Arrow system at high altitude, according to the Israel Defense Forces.

“Following the sirens that sounded between 06:21-06:22 [a.m.] in the areas of the Shfela [Judean foothills], Lakhish and the Yarkon, one projectile launched from Yemen was intercepted by the [Israeli Air Force] prior to its crossing into Israeli territory,” the Israel Defense Forces said.

The Iran-backed Houthi rebels have launched multiple missiles and drones at Israel in support of Hamas since the Gaza-based terrorist group’s Oct. 7, 2023, invasion of the northwestern Negev.
